I went to Advance Auto to try to get some of this cleaner, but they didn't have any. I really wanted to clean my MAF sensor b/c I'm running a K&N filter on my 77,XXX mile wrx. I found non-chlorinated brake parts cleaner, but the label said "do not use on any electronic devices", so I didn't want to risk it. I also found intake cleaner that said it was safe for o2 sensors, but again, I didn't want to risk it. What's the best thing to use or where can I find some of this stuff? Hopefully it will take care of some of my low rpm lag and make everything a bit smoother.

Also, forgive my noobism but uh..... where is the MAF sensor how do you take it out?

I read on the side of the can that the sensor needs to be hot before cleaning. Did you guys do it that way? I did not see any mention of it in this thread. Also, should the ecu be reset after doing this cleaning?

i used the cleaner on my MAF about a week ago and the car just seems to be much smoother, i also installed a k&n panel filter, the elbow snorkus delete, oil change and a few other things at the same time so i cant tell if it was the MAF or not. either way for 5$ im happy :P
